Review: Best Rice Ever!!! - This is the best rice I've ever eaten. It's nice and sticky, slightly sweet, and a perfect chew. While you can wash i prefer not to. My Zojirushi cooks it just fine. I haven't seen any bugs or other contaminates. Smells great. Definitely worth the money.
Review: Yes, it is better. - I have no problem eating rice grown in the US, but this is better. The appearance is different, this is more translucent looking than I'm used to. The texture is different, it's plenty sticky but less gummy. I find the flavor is much better too. I'm not a rice snob, and I find most japonica rice great. This stuff is better than even the high end japonica. To me it's worth the price difference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Rice Ever!!!

This is the best rice I've ever eaten. It's nice and sticky, slightly sweet, and a perfect chew. While you can wash i prefer not to. My Zojirushi cooks it just fine. I haven't seen any bugs or other contaminates. Smells great. Definitely worth the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes, it is better.

### ⭐ Weevils
*by K***R on December 29, 2025*

I’ve bought this brand in the past and it was great. My most recent bag had a bad smell and to it and was full of weevils and live weevil larve. Would recommend being cautious if buying. I’m not sure I will purchase again.
